Supersymmetric Large Extra Dimensions and the Cosmological Constant: An Update
This article critically reviews the proposal for addressing the cosmological constant problem within the framework of supersymmetric large extra dimensions (SLED), as recently proposed in hep-th/0304256. After a brief restatement of the cosmological constant problem, a short summary of the proposed mechanism is given. The emphasis is on the perspective of the low-energy effective theory in orde...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Large Extra Dimensions and the Cosmological Constant Problem
This article briefly summarizes and reviews the motivations for — and the present status of — the proposal that the small size of the observed Dark Energy density can be understood in terms of the dynamical relaxation of two large extra dimensions within a supersymmetric higher-dimensional theory. 1. Reading the Tea Leaves The start of the new millenium finds the fundamental sciences at an odd ...
متن کاملThe Cosmological Constant and Warped Extra Dimensions
Abstract We study the behavior of a general gravitational action, including quadratic terms in the curvature, supplemented by a compact scalar field in 4 + 1 dimensions. The generalized Einstein equation for this system admits solutions which are compact in one direction and Poincaré invariant in the remaining directions. These solutions do not require any fine-tuning of the parameters in the a...
متن کاملCosmological Constant Probing Shape Moduli through Large Extra Dimensions
We consider compactification of extra dimensions and numerically calculate Casimir energy which is provided by the mass of Kaluza-Klein modes. For the extra space we consider a torus with shape moduli and show that the corresponding vacuum energy is represented as a function of the moduli parameter of the extra dimensions. By assuming that the Casimir energy may be identified with cosmological ...
متن کاملLarge Extra Dimensions and Cosmological Problems
We consider a variant of the brane-world model in which the universe is the direct product of a Friedmann, Robertson-Walker (FRW) space and a compact hyperbolic manifold of dimension d ≥ 2. Cosmology in this space is particularly interesting. The dynamical evolution of the space-time leads to the injection of a large entropy into the observable (FRW) universe. The exponential dependence of surf...
